About this home

BRAND NEW ROOF! Fabulous and Rare find in Spanish Town! No expense was spared in the preservation and renovation of this historic 1936 Baton Rouge gem! Known as one of the Brousseau cottages, the owners meticulously and lovingly restored her all the while persevering the unique history of this home. From the original “real” wood floors, authentic textured plaster walls, original cypress wainscoting and millwork to the new natural black honed granite countertops, Italian Carrara marble floors and Robert Abbey Lighting. The interior design makes you feel like you have stepped back in time! Top of the line stainless steel appliances grace the kitchen as well as full size stackable washer and dryer in the mudroom. The original bathtub was also restored! What a bonus, there is parking available for two cars in driveway and off street parking! No stone was left unturned in the journey of bringing this cottage back to her glory! Enjoy the views of the State Capitol, the Capitol lakes, Governor’s Mansion and Arsenal Park from your front porch! Your own big front yard! The electrical, plumbing and mechanical are all new and seller has permits and inspection reports. This is a must-see for those who have been waiting to get downtown.
